yes, Lakers have historically had the most HOF level players play for them. That is why they are one of the 2 most successful franchises. Kobe was so lucky to be having the most dominant center of all time to play with him.

If you mean all players at their peak then Lakers are easily the GOAT franchise

its obviously not at peaks. i have nash on the IR

just during their best year with LA

BasketballReference's Hall of Fame Probability list:

Pau Gasol ranks 97th with a 0.6107 chance.

Manu ranks 130th with a 0.2578 chance.

Yet nobody would go around saying Manu is simply an All-Star, not a HoFer. Pau is a Hall of Famer....Kobe played with two.

[moe94]

Why is Magic on the F team?

he might make it. but its not 100%

if he gets in i say its due to his international resume mixed with his "pretty good" nba career

still.. thats more of an international contributor nomination like yao ming



2 third team all nbas and 4 reserve asg's while probably retiring with 16-17ppg isnt much of a HOF'r in my opinion

[qrich]

Why is Magic on the F team?

To prop up Kobe and put everyone else down.

C"mon bruh, you know the OP.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

PG: Bob Cousy
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Bill Rusell

>>>>>

[kennethgriffin]

Why is Magic on the F team?

for balance

i want all the teams to be competitive

they pretty much all have a shot at most if not all other teams best 5

[MP.Trey]

Why is Magic on the F team?
Because Jerry West who's more fit to play shooting guard is a better point guard than him.

So is Norm Nixon, Nick Van Exel, 60 year old Gary Payton and Slater Martin, obviously.

[uber]

BIG DEAL. kobe did more with less help than any other laker legend [/B]

because he played in a great system and had the arguably GOAT coach for every one of his rings

lakers A,B and F teams would challenge

Hondo at the 2, not Pierce. And Mchale at the 4. Twolves KG was greater though.

Cousy
Hondo
Bird
Mchale
Russell

Rondo
Sam Jones
Pierce
Garnett
Parish

:bowdown: Sick teams.

[lakers_forever]

And you don't start Horry or Gasol when you have Wilt/Shaq/Kareem/Baylor.

Magic
West
Kobe
Kareem
Shaq


Gail Goodrich
James Worthy
Elgin Baylor
Pau Gasol
Wilt

:bowdown:

Lakers > Celtics>>>>>everyone else

i wasnt making the best possible teams. i was seeing how many teams i could make that could compete with everyone elses best 5

[KG215]

Have to admit, it's gotten pretty hilarious recently to see what ways Griff tries to mask Kobe agenda threads. This is one of his more creative ones but he ruins it with his third post in the thread.

[kennethgriffin]

Magic is on the F team and Worthy on the E team? Never mind the dumbass agenda fueling this thread, that's asinine enough.


i think allot of people in this thread are failing to understand the objective

[kennethgriffin]

for tards like KG215 and others... i switched around the teams so people wouldnt be confused

:lol

Didn't realize there was a second page to the thread when I made my post, saw your reply on the second page, and changed my post.

Oh, and Pau Gasol is a HOFer. And yes, plenty of it has to do with his NBA body of work. There's worse players in the HOF who are in there based almost solely on their NBA body of work. Stop trying to convince everyone he's not. People already don't take you seriously and that isn't helping.

Did you even mention the teams weren't in any specific order before you edited the post?

players who made the HOF with lesser careers usually had a huge impact somehow in other ways. or were really popular. or trend setters. or did historic things. that or had friends who voted


gasol has none of these things going for him... most casual fans think kobe won those 2 rings with a bum sidekick. they know fisher more than they know of gasol

[kennethgriffin]

i thought it was obvious considering horry on A team and magic on F team

plus the balanced teams. but people just see one thing and rush to judgement

Given your posting history (mostly asinine agenda driven nonsense), you'll have to excuse me if I assumed the worst from you.

What's sad is that you actually believe this.
